" I am getting married."
" I...congratulations!. When is the marriage?"
" After five months."
" Oh, that is great."
A strong gust of wind brushes past Adien's silky black hair, as his chocolate brown eyes widen in shock and lower down in melancholy, looking disceetly at Felix's left hand. It was not visible but anyone observing carefully could see it was dying slowly, but surely.
This grief had always been there in a locked up and forbbien part of his heart. It was pushed down by various dominating emotions alike--happiness, grief, anger and many more--This grief had its roots deep within his youthful heart, and it gave him never-ending pain.
The cause of this grief was were many.
Not being there for his infatuation.
Not being able to doing anything, even though he saw it with his own two eyes.
Not being brave enough to stand up for himself and tell out the truth.
Not being able to be in charge of his own decisions.
Not being there for him.
While all the time knowing, the time traveller was wrecking Felix's life.
Seeing those raven black eyes again, this grief surfaced up again. Seeing pain in his infatuation eyes, was like a fuel for the pain to grow all over again. It was quite similar to a gardener watering a plant, yet, the plant withered from the inside, instead of growing strong.
He knew Felix did not want this marriage.
He knew he wanted someone else.
But who?
He was not quite certain.
Even if he did, they both had obligations to fulfill, being the princes and soon-to-be kings of Meldrop kingdom and Acnestis Kingdom, respectively.
He could not anything.
Even as a friend.
And it pained him.
" I know"
" What? Pardon me, but i don'-"
" I know you don't want this marriage. It's quite clear in your eyes, Lexy. I know."
" I...you are right. I don't want to marry Clarrisa. I like someone else.", says Felix dishearten lacing in his raspy voice. They once again have returned to the gardyn after having a small 'chat' with his parents about the whole marriage arrangement and announcement, he returned to Adien as this might be the last time he may see him.
" Who?!", Aiden nearly shouts, as he felt a spark of hope.
He did not mind being a vincian for Felix.
As long it is him, that is enough.
As long as he is happy.
Adien does not mind breaking the laws.
"I can't tell." A frown makes it's way to the young prince's mien as a gloomy demeanor falls upon Felix. He looks down in shame and anger upon the marble floor. The ball was nearly to an end and he has yet to dance with Clarrisa. His parents had instructed him to dance with her, yet, his heart yearned a dance with the fine young man infornt of him.
